ST. jonys, N. F., May "A terrible ma.

southwest point Of Channel Harbor. The
Glasgow steamnhip, John Knox, laden
with liquors, brick, and rolling stock,
struck the reels near Channel Ha,bor and

bodies were recovered, having been wash

A dlspatch from St. John says: The
first newa Of the disaster resched here this
afternoon. Late Saturday night, shortly
alter midnight, the inhabitsnts Of the
neighboling shore were aroused from thsis
slumberby tho sound Of a steamship horn.
Fastening TO the edge OF the wster, they
pierced through the darkness, rain and

assistance. The vessel was only about
400 yards from land, but heavy gale and
tremendous sea prevented boats being

sounded in order to give the imperiled
people IN idea Of their position, but be.
yond this 1t was absolutely impossible to
make any attempt to aid the vessel,
Signals made on the phore could be

derful. A few OF the leaders havo for some
time been feeding the Old Roman
!"taffy," in hopes Of inducing him to
accept the Gubernatorial nomination, but
having failed they arc now seeking new
fields. Judge Thurman haa lived on the
taGy diet for 10 these long yearo, and has
frequently loaned himself to pulling the
chestnuts out OF the fro for hia party, but
up to date this timo he has emphaticslly
declined to serve. sG'
Mr.. Thurman almost invariably returns
the reply in substance that be Is now en-.
gagged in the important duties OF
litigating tho Bell telephone cases
on behalf Of the Government; that
he has served hia party long and
faithfully; that having occupied the
position OF q. s. Senator from Ohio for
several terms the office OF Governor ia
not, as he views it, q promotion, and
finally that his principal ambition now ia
to enjoy the comforts Of home with entire
freedom from official cares and political
turmoil. bF
After sundry and divers efforts, and the
end always resulting in q failure, 10 secure
tho assent Of Mr.. Thurman, the party
workers have finally reached the con.
clusion that they must look elsewhere
and diacover, II possible black horse,
o to speak, with whom to head
the Democratic ticket this fall. It is
very apparent that they are laboring nm.
der the impression that they have dis
covered thd Messiah who is to lead them
from darkness to victory in General
Thomas Powell, OF this city, who has
served the party for several years
In the capacity OF Chairman Of the
State Central Committee. The first
stroke in bis interest was made
yesterday at the Fairfield county pri-
maries, where tho delegates elected nre
known to be in favor Of General Powell
for Governor. It J. very apparent that
the machine, which he has controlled for
several years, is to be made to grind in
his interest, and to the detrimsnt OF the
other aspirants for the nomination.

GETTING SERIOUS.

Ahe Indianapolis Tally y.Slioet Forrers Start.
led by the Charge Of Judge Woods. 4,
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May 4.-Judge
Woods, of the United States Court, threw
q bombahell into the camp OF the tally
sheet torgera to-day. In his charge to the
Grand Jury he directed them to thor.
oughly Investigate the matter, and gave a
new line to the investigation.
Tho points covered by the charge arc
as follows: Attention was called 10 the
ruling Of the Circuit Court in the Perkius
case, in which it was held that as the tally
sheet forseries did not directly change
tho result Of tho election for Congress, the
Federal Court could have no jurisdiction
over these ottenGes; but aside from
this, judge Woods said there were
other phases Of the Case which demanded
investigation. He quoted at }eucth the
acts OF Congress which provide that in
spectors, ju ages and other election officials
must carefully preserve and retain in
their custody all the papers pertaining to
the election. The importance Of strict
discharge Of these duties was manifest, Al
though the State laws provided no penalty
for failure to discharge such duties, the
Congressional enactments, however, do
provide for penalties. The facts in the
Marion county csses were that the tally
sheets in hve cases went out Of the Gus.
tody OF the inspectors, and were changed.
The Court added that the Grand Jury's in
vestigation would involve three subjects:
l. Did any inspector or judge knowing
ly neglect, refuse or omit to perform any
duty. regarding the custody Of the papers,
ana il 80, who? 'a.f
?. Did any person or persons advise or
counsel such judge or inspector to neg
iecs, relusc or fail to perform such duty,
and il 30, who? i =.
8. Did any person or persons conspire
to induce such judge or inspector 10 fail to
perform his duty in this respect2

heavy rumbling explosion.
TuscoN, ARR May IAN earthquake
occurred here at 2:12r. N. yesterday. Nc
one was injured, but considerable damage
was done to buildings. Goods were thrown
from the shelves Of stores and many Of the
houses were cracked. The shock was
accompanied by rumbling sound. The
entire population fled to the streets, terror
stricken. The court house cupola swsysd
like the mants Of ship in turbulent aea,
the building seemed as though 1t were
toppling over. eHgg
When the shock struck tho Santa Cats.
lima mountain great slices Of tho mountain
were torn from It's sido and thrown to It's
base. Vast clouds OF dust rose above its
crest, seyen Thousand feet above the sea
level, at three different points, from three
to four miles apart. It was believed for
sometime that a volcano had burst out.
The crest OF the mountain, the towering
peak known as Old Castle, prominent
landmark from Tucson, has entirely dis
appeared. The extent OF the damage
cannot be told for several days.
This WAS the first earthquake shock ever
experienced in Tucson. 1t lasted about
four minutes. Ono or two slight yibYs.
tions have since been felt. The move.
ment OF the tremor was northwest. Short
ly alter the earthquake volcano broke
out twenty-five miles south OF this place
IN the mountains. The sky is brilliantly
Illuminated.
WILCOX, ARlz, May "A severe earth
quake shock was felt here at 2:lO yester-
day afternoon. Tho vibrations were from

Attempt OF AIaddened Saloonists to Destroy
WaterTille's Public buildings.
TOLEDO, o., May 4.-Seyeral months ago
the citizens Of " Waterville, g email town in
the southwestern part OF this county,
voted on the local option feature Of tho
Dow law, and the result was victory
for the Prohibitiouists. The city Council
ordered all the saloons closed, but the sa.
loonists We're slow in obeying. As re-.
suit, one Of them wsB arrested on
q charge Of violating the law. hut
was released after hearing bsfore
Judge Pike, in Common Pleas Court. The
Judge made decision which became no.
torious, declaring the law to be unconeti-
tusionsl In several important particulars,
That decision emboldened the lawless
element, and thereafter the saloonkeep.
ers assumed defiant attitude. But the
Prohibitionists were firm, and watched
eagerly Tor an opportunity to catch the
saloonkeepers OH their guard. Tho re.
cult was that bitter feeling sprsng up
batweeu the two parties. Last night two
men wore arrested for attempting 10 blow
up the jail and the city buildings with dy-
Mantle, and brought to this city. 1t seems
that the sa!oonists, maddened ct the de.
termined position taken by the local an.
thorities, hired the men to DESTROY
the public buildings. Dynamite
shel]s were placed urde the different
buildings, and the two men were then
paid for touching them OF. At the last
moment they weakened, and refused to
perform the dirty work, but, by some
powerful and cogent persuasion, the
saloon keepers compelled the agents 10 go
on with their contract. But thew mis-.
calculated. The quantity Of dynamite
used was too small to do the execution
intended, and while the buildings are
badly shattered, their destruction Was not
compassed. The exact losu at canno. at
this time be ascertained, but will bs con.
aidsrably over $1,000. The miscreants
were hurried to this city and locked up
lor sale keeping. They refuse to say any
thing about the affair. The citizens OF
Watervi!le arc very much excited over
the outrsge.

II We understand his suggestion it is

We don't think this will happen, because
there are many people in the Valley who
